Too late. It got here yesterday and I just got back from a test run.
Yep, it does handle different. Got most of the steering issue fixed by playing with the electric lean adjustment. The rest will just take some time to get used to.
But, Momma is happy.

RE: Thinking about a sidecar
Like they said, it pulls to the right on acceleration, and to the left on deceleration. It had a slight pull cruising, but I played with the lean adjustment and got that fixed.
It is a little sluggish when I first take off from a stop, the extra weight puts a bit of a burden on it. Lower gear ratio might be the next mod I need to do.
I will put 200 miles on it Monday, the Hog chapter is asking for some bikes for a photo shoot, a PR thing for the city of Yuma, so I will get a better idea and gas mileage check then. That might hurt,,LOL.
But, like I said, Momma is happy, and she said she might even take a couple of her little short summer dresses to wear on our cross country trip.I have a great view from my seat downinto the sidecar to that special area if you know what I mean!

Hell, I don't think I know anyone stupid enough toride in the thing if I did have one.
No way I would ever get in one, no matter the skill level of the driver.
